JOY was the second most expensive perfume in the world

In the history of perfumery, three fragrances have been forged (counterfeited – fraudulently imitated) so extensively: Chanel No. 5, Patou’s JOY, and Patou’s 1000 (Mille). Take great care—genuine Patou products in particular are extremely scarce on the global market. As the saying goes here in Greece, keep your eyes peeled.

Fragrance Foundation Award (2020) : The Fragrance of the Century

An iconic bottle in a black hue, with a beautiful stopper in a red hue, designed by architects Louis Süe and Andre Mare, following the Golden Ratio (the Divine Proportion) of the GREEK mathematician EUCLID and applying mathematics to art, in the belief that it is aesthetically pleasing.

The bottle was made by Saint-Gobain-Desjonqueres, bearing the SGD mark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury perfumes.

INFORMATION : 7–8 different varieties of rose and jasmine were used to produce this product.

Let’s compare Chanel No. 5 and Joy:

Chanel No. 5 : 12 roses and 1,000 jasmine blossoms were needed for one ounce (30 ml) of Parfum.

Joy : 11 roses and 350 jasmine blossoms were needed for (1 ml) of Parfum, meaning 3 ml of Joy is equivalent to 30 ml of Chanel.

A few words about JOY Parfum: wearing it is like driving a Lamborghini.

The product was distributed in Greece by LAPAPHARM S.A., PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETICS INDUSTRY, 73 Menandrou Street, Athens, and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.

PERFUMER : Henri Almeras; in 1955, the fragrance was reformulated by Henri Giboulet.
